Very informative book. It covers every area of personal finance and teaches you details about how to save money and earn more money and much much more. I am buying a copy for each if my children.

Best personal finance tutorial book!

This is a good book, with some solid ideas. The detail with which he explains his theories is both good and bad. For one thing, in the printed version, there are a lot of charts, so in the audiobook the narrator reads off all the repetitive stats from the charts in a very long, monotonous way. In the text version, you would just glance at the chart, get the gist, and move on...in the audiobook, you have to listen to it for over 5 minutes sometimes. A little annoying, because you get the concept after the first few examples, then have to listen to him drone on through the whole chart.

Also, a lot of the advice relates directly to Americans only. I am Canadian, and though I found the general theories sound, the specific advice (401k, etc) was not as helpful.

All in all, a worthy buy.

Sound advice, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of Start Late, Finish Rich to be better than the print version?

I think it was a good audio but due to the numbers and analysis I found the two together to be a more learner friendly approach.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Start Late, Finish Rich?

I found the portraits of the typical millionaire very interesting and compelling.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Michael Kramer?

Yes I would. I thought it was well done

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

The latte factor for one, just how little changes can make big differences over time

Any additional comments?

My only comment is in reference to directly reading the tables that show growth of investments over time, it's easy to see in the print version but doesn't translate well to audible presentation.

Overall a good book, good performance
